The Cards You’re Dealt: Amplifying the voices of young people with care experience
Young Voices Influencing Care (YVIC) is a group of passionate and resilient young people with care experience in Hull. The group is working together to create meaningful change in the ways that services are shaped and delivered.
YVIC exists to amplify the lived experiences of young people in care. The group advocates for services that reflect the real needs of children and young people, not just what adults think they need. Their work includes consultations, co-production of services, and training tools.
One of their most impactful projects to date is “The Cards You’re Dealt”, a card game that brings difficult conversations to the table. It is a thought-provoking tool designed to help adults see the care system through the eyes of a child.
